How does God demonstrate acceptance of sacrifices?

Answered in 1 source

God accepts sacrifices through divine fire or signs that signify His approval.

In Judges 6:21, God demonstrates His acceptance of Gideon’s sacrifice by consuming it with fire, a powerful symbol of approval. This concept is echoed in the Old Testament, where fire from heaven consumed sacrifices offered to God as a sign of His favor, such as during Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal. This establishes a precedent that God requires sincere offerings, where true acceptance is contingent upon His will and divine intervention.
Scripture References: Judges 6:21, 1 Kings 18:38, Romans 12:1
